This means the last day of the holy month would be on Wednesday, May 12. Hence, the first day of Eid is likely to fall on Thursday, May 13.
The Federal Authority for Government Human Resources announced earlier today that the Eid holidays would be from Ramadan 29 to Shawwal 3 (Islamic calendar months).
If Ramadan lasts 30 days
If Ramadan lasts 30 days – which it will as per astronomical calculations – residents will get a five-day break. The days off would be Ramadan 29 and 30; and Shawwal 1, 2 and 3 (Tuesday, May 11, to Saturday, May 15).
If Ramadan lasts 29 days
If Ramadan lasts 29 days, residents will have a four-day break. The days off would be Ramadan 29 and Shawwal 1, 2 and 3 (Tuesday, May 11, to Friday, May 14).
